As the World Cup in Brazil progresses to the semi-finals and US team heads home with their heads held high, I thought it timely to post this. These great athletes, for the most part, have finished a long season with their respective club teams (from August to May), competing during that season for European Cup play, FA Cup games as well as for their countries for the previous few years just to qualify for one of the 32 teams that get to compete in Brazil. Now for some lesser known facts: each player will run about 7 miles/ game, rarely run more than 40 yards without changing direction with an average of 1,200 changes of direction per player. Keep these stats in mind when training. Training tips for soccer will be coming soon!
